Today is the age of the "global village." We use the internet to get in touch with people in other countries to understand different cultures. However, surfing the net is also has its drawbacks. For instance, long time usage can hurt our eyes. Furthermore, the information passed along on blogs and websites may be wrong.
Our goal at Sheng-Kang Junior High School is to create a blog (and Facebook page) concerning our home in Changhua and all of Taiwan to show our culture including local Taiwanese snacks and religious temples. It will stand as a testament to look back upon, with pride, when we reflect on what we have done to "Read the world so the world will read us."

2. How can we avoid legal problems of posting others' photos, videos, and text copy?
3. How could some viewers in some closed societies, such as China, be reached? Why do these countries hinder free access to information
